I use the ends of my ABM bread for crumbs - whirl in the food processor and store in a Rubbermaid in the freezer. I need to replenish the supply about once a week.

Dried bread crumbs

Put slices of bread on baking sheet. 300 degrees, 7 minutes per side.
Grind in food processor.

I would imagine they would keep for months in the freezer.

I lay out fresh bread slices on racks and loosely lie a sheet of wax paper over the top...let them air dry until they
are dry throughout. Crumb them (I use a plastic bag and a rolling pin, or my food processor). I store them
In a Ziplock in the cupboard or in a storage container. I don't season until I use them. I don't freeze them
because I don't see a need for it. They last just fine in the cupboard. But they MUST be totally dry.

We dry the bread by leaving it open and exposed. Once dried, it will
keep a long time in a can or plastic container and won't mold.

Breadcrumbs can be used in many different ways so we don't add anything
until ready to use.

I think I have said before that breadcrumbs, just like Panko, can be
kept in the freezer and don't require defrosting since they contain very
little water. I don't know how long home-made crumbs will keep but Panko
lasts for months.-

I dehydrate my leftover bread and then grate them. I store them in a poly
bag in the pantry.

I do the same. We used to toss old break into a basket so the air could
get at it, rather than leaving it in a bag where it would eventually get
moldy. When I had enough good hard bread I would get out the FP and
whizz it down to a powder, put it into a jar or a plastic container and
I could keep it for months.

I'm in the plain crumbs camp myself, but what on earth do you use them
for? I put them on mac & cheese and green bean casserole. After
that, I've got nothing.

They can be used for oven-fried and baked chicken or fish and also
included in chicken patties for grilling. Indian Shami Kebabs sometimes
use them as part of the ground lamb or beef mix.

I use dried bread crumbs in the coating for the following:
oven fried zucchini or eggplant
turkey cutlets picata
pork schnitzle
sautéed calamari
fried catfish

Also, bread crumbs fried in olive oil, butter, and a dash of powdered
garlic is a great topping for fresh asparagus, broccoli, or cauliflower
after those vegetables have been slightly cooked (hot and tender but
still crispy) in a microwave.

I make bread crumbs (dried or fresh) with my meat grinder, by passing
through just once produces a very homogeneous texture, not dust and
lumps. Dried bread crumbs when stored in an airtite container will
keep for many years in a cupboard, fresh won't keep more than a few
days in a zip-loc unless frozen. I don't season bread crumbs until
I'm ready to use them... which seasoning depends on what's being
breaded. Actually I don't use much bread crumbs, old bread feeds
birds, for breading I grind crackers, motza, corn flakes, etc. For
meat loaf bread/crackers is the last thing I pass through the grinder.

Once in a while I like breaded pork chops. If we do that, we add
seasoning to the crumbs. Less frequently, breaded chicken breasts.

For green beans, put butter in a small pan, add some crumbs and toast
golden brown and put that over top of the beans.

Making stuffings; making breadsauce, coating baked or fried chicken or
fish or fishcakes, in toppings for fruit bakes, in gratin for savoury
bakes, essential ingredient in Graham's pork tourtiere.

Thanks for the idea, Rubbermaid is like Tupperware, or is it different

That's a good idea Nancy, I just realised that I have a dehydrator I

We have both; they have comletely different tastes and textures.
Plus cranberry sauce. And two kinds of stuffings.
